Expert-Led Training: Proven Methods, Real Transformations

Did you know that the MOST important time in a dog's early career in Nosework happens AFTER they learn target odor (as in NW101) and BEFORE they start their general searching? Making mistakes now are costly. In this transition time, the dog (and handler) learns searching habits, passive indication, precision, consistency, and the ability to work in new and novel locations. THIS class forms the initial foundation to get you off onto the right track. Without these skills, a team may suffer from missed hides and false alerts and their ability to move up the levels successfully may be hampered.

This program is about more than just hitting your mileage—it’s about understanding your body and building a solid foundation to run safely, confidently, and consistently. You’ll learn practical, easy-to-apply strategies that will not only make running feel better but also help you avoid injuries and setbacks.

Whether your dog is having problems in the ring or struggling in daily life, the key to addressing problematic behaviour can be understanding and improving the dog’s emotional state. That's where counterconditioning and desensitization (CC&DS) come in. CC&DS can help dogs get into a better “headspace” – and that can mean more engagement and focus when it really counts.

Ready to take your CU skills on the road? Welcome to I CU in the Real World: Advancing Your Control Unleashed Skills! This class will build on all previous CU classes. Gold students will have the opportunity to address challenges specific to their own dogs to work on throughout the 6 weeks. We will also dive deeper into CU concepts, start to bring patterns together to build routines, decrease reinforcement, and dive into advanced concepts like Voluntary Sharing, Requested Approach Training, and LATTE (Look At That, Then Enrichment.) This class is ideal for any team who has already taken a previous CU class and is ready to bring their skills into the big wide world!

Feeling stuck, intimidated, or overwhelmed working on obedience skills with your dog? If you feel like you’re not sure what to train, or if what worked for your last dog isn’t working for this dog, this class may be for you!
